NEIL TINIO, Plaintiff, v. GREENBERG, STEIN & ASSOCIATES, LLC; and DOES 1-10, inclusive, Defendants.
Judge John L. Kane
ORDER
Kane., J.
Following the entry of a default judgment against Defendants, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Damages (doc. 10). Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)(2)(A), Plaintiff seeks statutory damages in the amount of $1,000.00. Because this amount is readily determined without need for any further accounting or investigation, no hearing is necessary. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b). Furthermore, because I find this relief reasonable and approrpirate, Plaintiff's motion is GRANTED.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is awarded statutory damages in the amount of $1,000.00.
BY THE COURT:
John L. Kane
Senior U.S. District Court Judge
